Dr. Wayne Dyer, who shares insights on the three ways to enlightenment in our June cover story, has been a spiritual mentor to millions. But who does he turn to? Science of Mind magazine was thrilled to learn that the teachings of Dr. Ernest Holmes have inspired Dyer for years. “I have been hugely impacted by the writings and teachings of Ernest Holmes,” Dyer said during his interview. In 2013, Science of Mind named Wayne Dyer “Spiritual Hero of the Year.” It was the first thing he talked about when he greeted our writer. “You’re talking to your Spiritual Hero,” he offered, laughing, and then later added, “Ernest Holmes is my spiritual hero.” Fully embracing the principles defined by Holmes, Dyer talks to Science of Mind about his one consistent prayer — to find his highest self, the place within that is God.
